Two men were killed in an apparent hand grenade explosion in downtown Kiev, Ukrainian police said on Wednesday.
The blast that left two men dead and also one woman injured happened late Tuesday night at the entrance to an office building in the centre of the capital, the police said.
Kiev police spokeswoman Oksana Blyshchyk told AFP that one of the dead was a former soldier who fought against Russian-backed separatists in the country’s east while the second victim was an office guard.
“Fragments found at the scene indicate that it was a hand grenade,” Blyshchyk said.
Police said they were investigating the circumstances of the explosion, adding that the working version of the incident was the careless handling of an explosive device.
